Dynamics of the Gut Bacteria and Fungi Accompanying Low-Carbohydrate Diet-Induced Weight Loss in Overweight and Obese Adults.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLow-carbohydrate (e.g., Atkins) dietary pattern is one of the most effective diets for weight loss, but little is known about the characteristics of the gut microbiota accompanying low-carbohydrate diets-induced weight loss. This study aims to profile dynamics of gut bacteria and fungi accompanying modified Atkins diets-induced weight loss among overweight and obese adults.
methodsOverweight and obese adults were screened to follow a modified Atkins diet plan (30% of energy from protein, 40% from carbohydrate and 30% from fat). We longitudinally profiled dynamics of gut bacteria and fungi based on 16S rRNA and ITS rRNA gene sequencing data, respectively.
resultsA total of 65 participants followed the modified Atkins diets for 20-231 days, with 61 and 27 participants achieving a weight loss of at least 5 and 10%, respectively. Most of the participants who achieved 10% weight loss also experienced improvements on metabolic health. The diversity of gut bacteria and fungi increased after a weight loss of 5% and kept stable thereafter. Bacteria genera including
conclusionsThis study confirmed the modulation of bacterial and fungal composition during weight loss with the low-carbohydrate diets and showed previously unknown links between intestinal bacteria and fungi accompanying the weight loss.
